Summary

 Most previous statistics on the use of health information technologies eHealth use have been generated by surveys of patients and physician practices or through social media, and the findings may not be representative of a general population. Leveraging high-quality register data available in Denmark, the project aims to understand social patterning in eHealth use and for which conditions eHealth use is most beneficial. We will also use the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians data to analyze the availability of and regional variations in online services offered by general practitioners and specialists in Germany.
